I doubt SNAP will allow you to buy alcohol, but perhaps it would enable people to use the money they do have towards it.

Certain stores that have license to accept SNAP or EBT have been known the ring up a quart of booze as a gallon of milk, etc.............

Benny Johnson was on a 2-hr rant today about these people that can buy live lobster, truffles, caviar, etc. that we pay for. Many or most are blaming the rats, spare me. The uniparty has funded every nickel of it without raising a question, they got caught by a shutdown, imagine that.

42 million people on the handout? $40,000,000,000,000 in debt by the end of the year and over half of our population is obese.

Here’s how the “work around” works for SNAP recipients to get cash.

They approach you in a grocery store and make an offer.
The general rule is double the price in food for cash.

So $80 dollars in meats purchased would net them $40.

Ever hear of the fungability of money?

One dollar of his own money which a buyer does not have to spend on food (because he can use SNAP, instead) is a dollar that is now free to be spent on booze.

Snap will allow you to buy bottled water at BJ’s or Costco. In CT there’s a 10 cent deposit per bottle. That’s $4 for a 40 pack of cheap spring water. They buy them, pour the out and return them for the deposit.
